I am a smoker for almost 4 or 5 years but now a days am just smoking like once in 2 weeks. Every time I have cough and spit I see a total black thing with little blood stains in it. Why is that happening?

Blood that comes from the lungs or respiratory tract will often appear bubbly. This is because it has been mixed with air and mucus in the lungs. The color can range from rust-colored to bright red. The mucus may be entirely tainted with blood or only contain streaks of blood mixed with mucus.
Examples of common and highly treatable causes of coughing up blood include:
irritation of the throat from excessive coughing — this is in many cases attributable to irritation from smoking cigarettes
bronchitis
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which can include chronic bronchitis or emphysema
pneumonia
You should definitely taper and quit smoking
